Lian'er is gone, and Hong Tao should be ready to go on the expedition. According to the news from the Xiluosa people, the Tubo army led by Qingyi Jiegui Zhang was expected to march north in mid-April, and according to the route, they were a little farther away from Liangzhou than themselves, and they had to pass through Renduoquan City along the way.

It was also a military fort in Western Xia, and it would definitely be no problem to take it down, but it would have to be delayed for a few days, so he only needed to rush to Liangzhou in late April.

The sudden invasion of tens of thousands of Tibetan troops is bound to alarm the nearby Western Xia army, and they all have to try to intercept or return to Liangzhou City, so they will not be able to encounter too large enemy troops along the way, and the marching process will be relatively easy.

On April 15th, flags were unfurled outside Mawei City, trumpets shook the sky, and people were boiling...... No, the new army does not have flags, only signal flags, and they are still rolled up in peacetime.

There were no cannons, and simple orders were delivered with brass trumpets. There is no noisy human voice, every 100 people are a team, and they usually practice every day, and they can stand in the right position with their eyes closed, and they don't need to communicate.

There was a lot of neighing from the horses and camels, and they seemed to sense that a great war was coming, and they were a little excited or a little uneasy. But with the whistling of the whip, don't bark, lower your head and pull the cart and hurry away, if you go slowly, you will be whipped.

"This official's Mawei City will be handed over to Lord Miao, if there is an accident, don't hesitate, immediately take these children and the servants to withdraw to Nanzong Fort and stick to the Ancient Bone Dragon City. I have already explained to Master Jiang how to deal with Mawei City, he will blow this place into ruins, and he must not covet the gains and losses of one city and one pool. ”

The former army was no longer visible, but Hong Tao still stayed outside the city gate and explained to the people left behind one by one. Finally, there was Miao Kui, who was ordered to bring reinforcements from the 500 Heavenly Martial Infantry Army and the 1,000 Forbidden Army, and he was the safeguard of Mawei City until Hong Tao returned.

But Hong Tao didn't think that Miao Kui and Jiang Dalang could hold here, if he really suffered a defeat and was wiped out, then the number of Xia people's troops would not be small. It is better to give up than to die with the enemy here, lest Mawei City not be kept and Huangzhou will be lost.

"Adults must not raise the morale of others to destroy their own prestige, and this expedition will surely be a complete victory. As long as the end is in the city, Mawei City must be there, and Lord Jiang and I are here to wait for your lordship. Miao Kui was still not very obedient, and he had to sing the opposite tune with his neck up.

"The last general also advanced and retreated with Master Miao...... "It is easy to learn badly, but it is difficult to learn, and Jiang Dalang also learned badly, so he coaxed Miao Kui together.

"Well, if I didn't say it, you guys like it. Gao Yu, you don't plan to take your younger brothers and sisters here to live and die with the city, do you? If this is placed on weekdays, Hong Tao must put aside his mouth and teach these two two goods a lesson, and dig deep into their ideological roots.

But at the moment, this kind of occasion is not suitable for educating people, so I have to give up. In fact, once they are defeated and do not return, they really like to do whatever they like. Even if the Great Song Dynasty is completely destroyed, he has a Mao relationship with himself.

The only thing that is still a little nostalgic is the children of the Children's League and the Youth League, most of whom have to go with them, but the children in the chemistry laboratory who do not plan to develop into the military can only stay. If they also disappear with this city, their years of hard work will really be in vain.

"Officials, please rest assured, Dashang has prepared three box cars, once the situation changes, he will take his younger brothers and sisters to Huangzhou City, and then take Wang Si and all the engineers, and go to Weiqiao Town as soon as possible to find Lord Guanwang and Gao Cuifeng High Judge to discuss the future." Gao Yu gave the teacher a fist salute with both hands with only eight fingers left, and gave the answer without changing his face and heartbeat.

“…… Cheng, I'm relieved to have you in the official, and you should have talent when you escape! Hong Tao patted Gao Yu's shoulder vigorously, and remembered the child's traitorous identity again. Generally speaking, traitors have a talent for escaping, so the burden of retreat is entrusted to him to be in charge of execution.

Since he remembered half a word, Hong Tao had nothing to worry about, picked up Chen Niang and got on the horse, surrounded by several special forces, and ran forward with a large box car.

"Lord Jiang, I don't like it when we stick to it, but I don't like it, this person has already prepared a car to escape before the battle, why is my lord so happy?"

Hong Tao left, Gao Yu didn't delay for half a second, and immediately turned back and walked to the city, without the slightest nostalgia. Seeing such a white-eyed wolf's behavior, Miao Kui couldn't help it again, and it seemed that only Jiang Dalang was quite familiar with it.

"The ghost only knows that this official only knows that Lord Shuai Si will never be defeated, so he dares to boast about such a sea mouth. This kid was not like this when he first came, and since he entered the Youth League, he has become more and more different day by day, but do you know who his daughter-in-law is? ”

Jiang Dalang is not so much fighting to the death, but betting on the gambling table. As for Gao Yu's nature, he still understands it quite well, and the process of change is even more visible in his eyes day by day, and he has long been surprised.

"......" Miao Kui is still a man, and there is no problem with gossip.

"Wang Da, Wang Da who wipes his neck......" Jiang Dalang obviously knew that Wang Da followed Lord Shuai Si on the expedition, but when he said this, he still couldn't help but look around left and right, and lowered his voice very low.

"I see...... No wonder, no wonder! Miao Kui was immediately relieved when he heard this name, and all the opinions about Gao Yu in his heart came to naught. Looking at the limping back, there was no longer contempt in his eyes, all of them were full of sympathy.

In fact, the mountain roads in winter are easier to walk than in spring, as long as there is a sled, the road on the snow is smoother and faster, and all the potholes are filled in with snow. But as soon as the snow cleared, the sled could no longer be used, and the wheels were dwarfed by the best suspension damping compared to the sled board.

In order to get out of this mountain as soon as possible, Hong Tao divided the new army into three parts, led by special forces, from the three mountain roads to the north, and then gathered at the assembly point after walking out of the mountain.

Is there a danger in dispersing forces? 100% no, no one can guarantee it, and in general it is still very safe.

The Western Xia army, which had been newly added to the Zhuo Luo and Southern Military Divisions, was still in the stage of familiarizing itself with the environment and assigning troops, and rarely sent large-scale troops to the border areas, except for a few strategic fulcrums that had to be occupied.

It is estimated that they can't divide too many troops at this time, the Song army on Xihe Road has already driven to Lanzhou City, the two sides are tense, a big battle is coming, where are the extra troops thrown into the mountains.

In addition to judging, Jiang Erlang's special forces also advanced dozens of miles ahead of schedule with a scale of twenty or thirty people. They would use flags and binoculars to communicate regularly with the large army lookout posts behind, and could detect the enemy about two hours earlier. Even if it was a chance encounter, Hong Tao had enough time to decide whether to advance or retreat.

Of these three roads, the west road is the best one, that is, the mountain pass where the name Ah Wu enters and exits. The slope here is quite gentle, and several small streams along the way have been bridged by huge trees, so as long as there are no natural accidents such as landslides and rolling stones, it is not too difficult for the box truck.

The other two roads are not so simple, there are no roads at all in many places, that is, the path that is trampled out by sheep and cattle from the halfway up the mountain, and from time to time it is necessary to use manpower to carry the box car without rolling over.

Of course, Hong Tao is not humble, how can he say that he is also a Chinese army, and he must not do anything that takes the lead and goes wherever he suffers. It's not a war, it's a show. The Lord should stay in the safest place, just as the human body has a hard shell to protect the brain.

Now not only did he not hurry, but he also pressed the speed of the march, only thirty miles a day, and slowly rubbed forward. He had to wait until the other two teams were out of the mountain, and he was sure that there was no danger ahead.

This mountain is your best home field, what steps, feet, into this mountain is considered to be a grave. There are lookout posts on the top of each mountain, and the enemy's every move is in your eyes, so you really don't want to go out.

Hong Tao just crossed the horse when he left Mawei City, it was for Miao Kui and the forbidden army to see, and after turning a corner, he climbed into the box car, where is it comfortable to ride a horse.
